Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If wearable electronic devices (AR/VR glasses) provide various advanced functions to increase utility value, then the device functionality and user experience are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the wearable device's functionality by introducing multiple operation modes (first mode and second mode) that can be selectively activated. The processor identifies connection states with external devices and switches between modes accordingly, dividing the complex functionality into manageable segments that are activated based on contextual needs rather than running all functions simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic functionality by enabling the device to adapt its operational characteristics based on real-time conditions. The processor dynamically switches between different modes depending on the connection state with external devices (e.g., whether a mobile device is connected), allowing the device to optimize its functionality and resource usage based on the current operational context.
2Loss of information
If the electronic device transmits information related to multiple modes to the external display device, then the information completeness and user control are improved, but the communication data volume and processing load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential information needed for mode selection and transmission to the external device. Instead of transmitting all possible operational parameters and configuration data, the system identifies and transmits specifically the mode identification information and basic functional characteristics, reducing the communication overhead while maintaining sufficient information for user control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates simplified representations of the device's operational modes for transmission to external devices. Rather than transmitting the full complexity of each mode's configuration and parameters, the system transmits condensed mode information that allows the external device to display and control the essential characteristics, effectively creating a simplified copy of the operational state.
